Ricky Larkin Calls Armond Rizzo A “Psychopath” As “Tops Vs Bottoms” Pay Drama Explodes

Things are heating up on Twitter!

We told you yesterday that we didn’t expect a huge Twitter fight to come out of Armond Rizzo‘s now controversial tweets about Boys on Blacks underpaying their bottoms. But boy were we wrong! We thought that since the Boys on Blacks Twitter account hasn’t been active since 2018 that we shouldn’t expect any Twitter drama, but stud Ricky Larkin decided to step up and voice an opposing opinion in their absence. And that started a domino effect that eventually led Armond to get into a Twitter war with a gay porn blog.

Most of the drama started under one of our tweets. The Sword tweeted out an article about Armond Rizzo’s original call out towards Blacks on Boys. You can read all of that drama here if you need a refresher. Ricky Larkin replied to the tweet and sided with the studio. His argument is that since Blacks on Boys is a site that is “geared toward the fetishization of being fucked by black men,” it makes sense that the tops get paid more. Armond stuck to his original viewpoint though and that led to a heated exchange between the two models. Ricky ended up calling Armond “a psychopath” and said he was going to block him on Twitter.

Armond doubled down on his opinion again and went live on Twitter. He said he went live to educate people about the industry and how shooting a scene works. Armond emphasized that tops spend less time getting ready for shoots and bottoms have to prepare their bodies by douching multiple times and not eating throughout the day.

“People don’t really ask what bottoms fucking go through. People don’t ever ask,” Armond said in the live broadcast. “Like I said, I’m not asking to get paid more. I’m also asking not to be paid less. Because guess what? Bottoms have to go through some shit.”

He also tackled Ricky’s claim that the tops should be paid more since it’s a top-centric site. Armond claimed that if the bottoms weren’t a focus for the site, then why would they be contacting one of the most notable bottoms in the industry?

“I don’t give a fuck that your motto is that tops are the dominant ones on the site and bottoms are the bitches. That’s not how it works!” Armond said in the video. “You can have your little fetishizing site and have all tops dominant, all being about the tops, and nothing about the bottoms! Then bitch, why are you contacting me? What are you contacting the best motherfucking bottom in the industry for if it’s all about the tops? See, I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to get those motherfucking clicks as well. So you’re using a bottom. Using a motherfucking bottom to make that money. But it’s all about the tops right?”

Ricky has not responded to Armond’s video or tweeted about the situation since he said he was blocking Armond.

Things then took a whole different turn when the blog Str8UpGayPorn did a write up about Ricky and Armond’s Twitter war. They specifically wrote about a tweet where Armond used the words “the chick has a dick.” The blog described the phrase as “hostile” and “arguably transphobic” and said it was a criticism to Ricky, who has bottomed for trans women before.

Armond responded by tweeting out that the website “has always been a one sided blog” and compared them to Fox News. He also accused the site of “giving out performers personal information.”

Trans performer Wendy Williams came to Armond’s defense and told the site to “not insert transphobia into this argument.”

“As a Trans women using transphobia as an attack needs to be warranted,” the performer wrote. “I have no issue with either of you, the tweet was just a stretch.”

Armond then brought back the Fox News comparison when he revealed the blog had blocked him on Twitter.

Armond logged back on this morning to share a screenshot of an email he got from Blacks on Boys. The email shows someone from the studio asking if Armond remembers talking to him. It ends with them saying that Armond will get “100 more” and he would be the “only model getting that much.”

Armond followed up the email by criticizing the studio for being a “white dude” making money off the fetishization of people of color.

And now Armond is calling for his fans to boycott the gay porn blog that blocked him. He brought up SlamRush, a new porn site that glamorizes drug use and has seen its fair share of controversy, and how Str8UpGayPorn featured and linked to the site when it launched. Armond is utilizing the hashtag #BoycottStr8UpGayPorn for his protest against the blog. Str8UpGayPorn has yet to respond to the boycott or the hashtag.

What do you think of this entire situation? Should tops be paid more on top-centic websites? Should bottoms be paid more? Equal pay for both positions? Should Ricky have blocked Armond on Twitter? Is Armond right to boycott Str8UpGayPorn? Sound off in the comments below.

  1. Isn’t it the same as in Hollywood? The more money an actor brings in for the studio the higher paid they are. When Armond performs in a video the video sells because of his name and performance. He should be paid top dollar based on sales. Being a top or bottom is irrelevant.

  2. Armond has issues. We used to be pals back in the day but once I made a joke that he has such a huge collection of various colored underwear he could lend me the colors he doesn’t like he spazzed out like a child and then blocked me on every form of social media. Like gee I’m only joking about colored underwear I’m not making a wisecrack about you or your personality etc he does have the ability to overreact to such small things that if things don’t go his way then he will have a meltdown until people agree with him and it’s only gonna get worse. There are two sides to a story. One has to remember that and not jump to conclusions after only getting one side. He used to be so sweet and friendly but I think it’s taking a toll on him and being in the business long as he has maybe it’s time for him to take a little break from porn and be human for a while.

  3. I agree with Armond. He just seems to get a little too worked up over this issue. He should just simmer down as my grandma used to say and stop reacting to everyone who isn’t on his side like they’re the enemy who must be destroyed or something.

  4. Armond has a good point. Wish he would of articulated it better, or waited 10 minutes and edited his replies.

    Larkin shows a strange lack of knowledge of the industry (or maybe some magical thinking) in his conjecture, and added nothing to the conversation, other than a passive aggressive continuation of the myth that tops are superior to bottoms.

    Str8up has gone around the bend on the SJW bandwagon in the last year. Being blocked should be worn as a medal as a testament to blockee’s common sense.

    Of course this all just my opinion.

  5. the main thing behind all of this was LOST in the fact that Ugly little Armond is a hateful argumentive litle bitch

    1. Ugly? You hide behind “anonymous” to hurl that insult how pathetic is that? Why not share your picture so we can see if you’re “ugly”?

    Armond seems to have a valid point here, but he’s so emotionally impulsive and not very articulate so his good intentions fail to make an impact. The whole interaction with Ricky being a perfect example. Ricky actually praises Armond’s status in the industry while bringing in further context to the reason why, and Armond completely misunderstands and interprets it as bashing and insulting his work ethic. Makes absolutely no sense. He’s a fantastic performer, and seems to rally behind important thing but lacks the depth and intelligence to make his point. Just plain dumb all around.

  7. Wow Larkin is stupid. There are just as many Black bottoms as Whites. By the way Larkin how much did pay convince you to bottom the first time with Dylan Roberts? I am sure you were paid more since you had been a so called top. You’re the one who is somewhat a racist psychopath. Careful dude you may end up eating your own crap in one scene!

  8. Bottoms should be paid the same if not more for having to take such a well endowed cock. I will not choose sides as to Larkin and Rizzo but must add this. How many tops have been high amounts of cash to bottom for once? A LOT! Larkin himself was at one time an exclusive top. I am sure if he was honest, he would admit that he was paid more to do a bottom scene. Now look at him he is a versatile top.

  9. UNIVERSAL Potentate

    Wow! Armond has a history of drug use. I don’t know if he still uses meth but that stuff destroys your brain and specifically emotional control. When someone starts talking in identity politics (tops, bottoms, black, white, etc.) to describe how the system is against them when it’s clear the issue is personal business or even mostly imagined, that’s drugs. We’re seeing it play out and see why Armond has blocked/been blocked by so many. I think there are social solutions in mental health sciences but that discussion is beyond the scope of this post.

    1. That is irrelevant to the question of bottoms and tops being paid differently. Stop with the character assassination and stick to the subject.

  10. Some gay porn stars excel at gay sex on cam, some don’t. But there’s one thing they all excel at: drama. Good fucking god.

  11. I think the pay should be equal and Armond is right that bottom guys, in porn or everyday life have to go through a lot to prep for a sexual encounter.

    1. I agree, no matter what position is dominant on the site both or all stars involved should be payed equally and I didn’t like how Ricky was going on like “Tops have to stay hard for 3-4 hours” okay but what about the bottoms who do a all the prep work before a scene and have to take the dicks in their asses. Don’t act like they’re just sitting there doing nothing.

  12. just wondering..
    do other studios pay tops and bottoms equal? Pay should be equal, In porn and outside of it.

    plus why not just call out these “white people”. NOT every white person is making money out of POC. Now its getting racial.

    1. Don’t be as sensitive as Zack(h) at Str8up. It is obvious that the tweet is about the pornographers that make money on POC-centric porn, not all whites.
